Announcement from Rosemary Kegl...

Please consider applying for one of our Undergraduate Research Awards.

We review applications three times each academic year. February 15 is the next deadline to apply for an English department Undergraduate Research Award. This deadline is for funding to support travel or short-term residence from January 1 through April 30, 2009. There will be one more deadline later in the academic year for travel or short-term residence from May 1 through August 31.

The English Department's Undergraduate Research Awards support English majors and minors whose ongoing scholarly or creative work requires travel or short-term residence outside of Rochester. The awards are granted on a competitive basis and typically provide each recipient with between $500 and $1000 to help offset the cost of, for instance, traveling to scholarly conferences or film festivals, conducting research in archives or libraries, participating in writers' institutes, attending intensive language programs abroad.

Our website description of the Research Awards is here:

As the website explains, application forms are available at 404 Morey Hall. There are also links on the website for downloading an application form and for completing a form online.

If you find mention online of last year's deadlines, please ignore. One of several short-term glitches during the change-over to our department's new website.
